My girlfriend and I loved the half-assed French. Also I like how a lot of jokes were a bit subtle.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

I loved this special, it was great. I really liked Yajirobe and Karin's married couple routine.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

That special was great. Didn't have much of an impact on me the first time through, but it grew on me after a second viewing.

Also, I'm just gonna point out the fact that this footage exists. That is all.

I loved it, as always! When Goku and Cooler went underwater, I was like, "Yea! Alright! Water scene! I wonder what they're going to do!" The outcome was great! I didn't expect that at all. That's why I love your guys' type of comedy. I almost never know what you're going to do. And of course my favorite part of the entire movie was the Tori-bird. I love you guys! Keep up the great work!

Can someone please explain "Avon calling" to me? Is it a reference to Blake's 7 or something?

Avon is a makeup company that sends out door-to-door salesmen and women. I took it as Cooler being, well, cool. With one-liners and whatnot.

If anyone's interested, while we're working on the new Season, we have a little... special we're working on for Youmacon.

Hint: Youmacon is held every year in Detroit around late October/early November. So it often gets very chilly.

Obviously, it's The Return of Cooler. Because October is cooler. And they're returning to Youmacon.

Okay, maybe that was a terrible joke.

Based on the trailer for HUA, I can say with full confidence...

I love TeamFourStar Force! When I first saw it, I was in complete aww of how amazing and creative it was. I watched it over and over again. I put it on my iPhone and watch it on there whenever I'm bored!

Really digging the use of those Gokuisms, that you guys have been using for the last few episodes. They remind me of Rickyisms (from Trailer Park Boys).

I blame TFS for me always hearing Abridged Nail whenever I think of the regular character talking and for always expecting Ghost Nappa theme from Ghostbusters.

It's that way for me with Nappa's voice. I automatically hear Taka's Nappa if I'm reading something with the character in it.

Oh yeah, that happens to me too with Nappa and fanfiction.

The same thing happens to me with Nail, Nappa, the Grand Elder, Gohan, Kuririn, and Freeza.
